Surprise, Surprise!

Poor Dave–he’s been putting up with my snoring for days now. Normally I don’t snore, but with all of this congestion it was just inevitable. He even recorded me in the middle of the night so I could hear what he had to put up with! I would’ve slept on the couch in a heartbeat, but he’d rather put up with the noise than sleep alone. But yesterday I started developing a cough and you know how much worse a cough gets the second you lie down! So I slept in the spare bedroom last night. With a cough drop in my mouth. Lucky me, when I woke up this morning I KNEW I needed an antibiotic. I just had this wretched taste in the back of my throat and could feel the cough loosening up all kinds of garbage. So I made a doctor’s appointment for this morning and, no shocker, I have a sinus infection and an ear infection. Clearly, my immune system is shot and I need to get my act together and fix the problem. I’m also the fattest I’ve ever been. I’m just disgusting! But if you’ve read how this past month has been for us you’ll also know that my weight is not a priority at the moment. Survival is my priority! Dave and Jack are both sick as well, but I’m hoping that they just have head colds. After all, it seems I’m getting the infections because of my immune system so the two of them should be able to fight off a head cold without it becoming more than that. So now I just have to wait a day for the antibiotic to kick in and until then I’ll just be miserable. I hate having a non-productive hacking cough. Last night I completely sounded like an 80 year-old smoker. You know, with that loooooooong wheezing cough. Between the cough, the snoring, and my weight I’m surprised Dave hasn’t jumped ship yet! But I berate him constantly to keep his self-esteem low. That way he’ll think he can’t do any better than me. J/K! Well the mailman just came so I’m going to go enjoy the most exciting part of my day–getting the mail. Ooooooooh, jealous much?!
